I have seen these around from time to time, but I was always hesitant to try them because I was afraid they were too sweet.
Finally took the plunge, and guess what? They are not too sweet. They are just right.
If you are addicted to sugary snacks, pass these up and leave them for the rest of us. You are looking for the pies that have filling that is cloyingly sweet, and are also drenched with a sugary coating.
Mindy Lu's pies have just the right amount of sweetener, and the crust on these pocket pies is tender and flaky.

I heard they are even better if you pop them in a toaster oven, but I never get that far. I have to consume immediately.
Are they healthy? No. But they are fine for a treat once in a while. If you don't mind consuming about 340 calories or so in one sitting, you can always eat more. 😆
The calorie count varies slightly per pie. My last one was blueberry, and those are 340 calories each.
These are so much better than the ones that seemed so popular many years ago. The crust was a lot harder and thicker on the pies in Long Ago Land, and they were far too sweet, as mentioned above.
Give these a try if you stumble across them. If you're in Arlington Texas, you can go directly to Mindy Lu's pies and place an order. They also have online ordering, but it is suspended for the moment until the weather gets cooler here. Otherwise, you may find them in select grocery stores & gas station convenience stores.
